A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 6.75 m / s . If the salmon is in a stream with

water speed equal to 1.65 m / s , how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?

Answer:

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The motion of the salmon is a parabolic one because when it jumps, it already has a horizontal velocity (see figure).

The position and velocity vectors of the salmon at a time t, can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position of the salmon at time t.

x0 = initial horizotal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration of gravity.

Looking at the figure, notice that at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero (because the velocity vector is horizontal). Using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity, we can obtain the time at which the salmon is at its maximum height:

vy = v0y + g · t

To find the initial vertical velocity, v0y, let´s look at the figure. Notice that the initial velocity is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed with the horizontal velocity and the vertical velocity. Then:

v0² = v0x² + v0y²

Solving for v0y:

v0y = √(v0² - v0x²)

v0y = √((6.75 m/s)² - (1.65 m/s)²)

v0y = 6.55 m/s

Now, using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity at the maximum height (vy = 0):

vy = v0y + g · t

0 = 6.55 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) · t

-6.55 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 0.67 s

Now, using the equation of the vertical position at t = 0.67 s, we can find the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 6.55 m/s · 0.67 s + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · (0.67 s)²

y = 2.19 m

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

An object is released from rest and falls a distance h during the first second of time. How far will it fall during the next sec
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

E. 3h

Explanation:

We know that

u = 0 m/s.

velocity after t = 1s

v = u+gt = 0+9.81 x 1s= 9.81 m/s

distance covered in 1st sec

= =>> ut+0.5 x g x t²

=>>0 + 0.5x 9.81 x 1 = 4.90m

Let 4.90 be h

distance travelled in 2nd second will now be used

So velocity after t = 1s

=>>1 x t+ 0.5 x g x t²

=>9.81x 1 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 1 = 3 x 4.90

So since h= 4.90

Then the ans is 3x h = 3h

Confidence intervals for the population mean μ and population proportion p _____ as the size of the sample increases.
Masja [62]

Answer:

becomes narrower

Explanation:

Confidence intervals for the population mean μ and population proportion p becomes narrower as the size of the sample increases.

As,the sample size increases,standard error decreases,so margin of error decreases and hence width of CI decreases.

Fe=K Q1/Q2/d2
Q1 is the first charge
Q2 is the second charge
d is the distance
K= 9x10^9 NM^2/C2
Now let’s plug the numbers
Fe=9x10^9NM^2/C2 (2x10^-4C)(8x10^-4C) / (0.3m^2) you notice we took away the negative charges when we plugged the charges
Ok now we notice that we have C2 which is C to the power 2 we can write it as C^2 and we have two CSU’s beside each one of the charges we can get rid of them all by curtailment
And we can curtailment the M^2and the other M^2
Now we left with only 9x10^9N (2x10^-4)(8x10^-4)/ 0.3
Let’s multiply the (9)(2)(8)=144
And add the exponents (9)+(-4)+(-4)=1
So now we got 144x10N divide by the distance which is 0.3
144x10N / 0.3 = 4800N
Hope it helps u understand :)
